Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gnamptonychia ventralis sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 207th most-seen of the 557 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gnamptonychia ventralis in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Mexico City's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in December.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Gnamptonychia ventralis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Gnamptonychia ventralis that you can see in Mexico City (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Black Witch (about 20%) and Arachnis dilecta (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gnamptonychia ventralis is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (27 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
